Ya think?
I said, right from the beginning, that this whole H1N1 thing was blown way out of proportion. The media caused a frenzy all over the world, predicting a pandemic unlike any ever known before. What they will do to sell a story. And look at how many people fell for it.
I'm not disputing the fact that H1N1 should be taken seriously and treated with care . . . just like any other communicable disease. But let's put things in perspective here. The annual deaths resulting from your ordinary run-of-the-mill flu far outnumber those from swine flu. Far. Really far. I won't bore you with the statistics, but do your homework and you'll see I'm right.
Now that the "crisis" has passed without too much hoopla, the media is spinning their story in the other direction. They're leaking information such as the article referenced above - an article that wouldn't have seen the light of day a few months ago.
H1N1 has made a lot of people rich. Newspapers, magazines, radio and TV, doctors, research teams, etc. Oh yes, let's not forget the pharmaceutical companies who manufactured the vaccine.
Was it all a hoax? Hmm. Think about that.

Finally! Someone intelligent who seems to recognize the truth. Most of us knew that the whole H1N1 thing was blown WAY out of proportion. I'm glad to see the press finally admitting it. Poor people who weren't smart enough to figure it out on their own, though.
